Into this the fuel is injected and it ignites because the temper", ture of the air has been raised by external heat to the igniting point and the amount of pressure generated will depend upon the time in which the charge of fuel is injected and the quantity of fuel injected.

What I claim as in y invention is 1. An improved method of supplying energy to an engine which. consists in confining said colubuslion-sustaining body cf non-combustible con'ibustioir-sus taming gas, preferably atmospheric air, in a chamber under a pressure insulficient to ignite the fuel to be used, heating to a fuel igniting temperature a sufficient amount I of gas to ignite a fuel charge by external means, and injecting fuel into it, whereby said fuel will be ignited, as described.

2. An improved method of supply'ng encrgy to an engine which consists in cor pressing a body of noncombustible combustionsustaining gas, preferably atmospheric air, in a chamber to a degree lnsuflicient to ignite the fuel to be used, and heating by external means a sufficient amount of said combustion-sustaining gas to a temperature sufiicient to accomplish the ignition of the fuel injected into it, and injecting such fuel into it whereby said. fuel will be ignited and burned, as described.

3. An improved method of supplying energy to an engine which consists in compressing a body of non-combustible combustionsustaining gas, preferably atmospheric air, in a chamber, to a degree'insullicient to ignite the fuel to be deed, and heating by external means to an igniting temperature a suiticicnt amount of said combustion-sustaining gas to accomplish the ignition of the fuel insuch fuel into it jected'into' it, and injecting will be ignited and burned,

whereby said fuel as described.

4.. An imprm'ed method of supplying energy in the fm irn of pressure to an engine, which consists in heat body of combus lion-sustaining gas, prcferabl" atmospheric air, in a chamber connected to an engine, said gas being under pressure, the temperature of compression being insufficient to ignite the fuel, said chamber being heated suificientiy to inipart to air therein cruitaincd heat to a degree sufficient to ignite fuel, and then injecting fuel into saidheated air, asdcscribed.

5. An improved rziethod of supplying energy in the form of pressure to an engine, which consists in heating a body of combustion-sustaining preferably atmospheric air, in a chamber connected to an internal combustion engine, said pressure, the temperature of compression be ing insufficient to ignite the fuel, said chains her being heated suliiciently to impart to air therein contained, heat to a degree sufiicient to ignite fuel, and then inj ecting fuel into said heated a'r, as described.

6. An'iinproved method of supplying energy in the form of pressure, which consists in heating a body of combustion.-sus gaining gas, preferably atmospheric air, in a chamber connected with. the cylinder of an internal combustion engine, said gas being underpressure, the 'temperature of compression being i'nsutlicient te ignite the tuelfsaid chamber being heated sutliciently to impart to air therein contained, heat to a degree suilicient to ignite fuel, and then injecting fuel into said heatedair, as described.
